925 Sterling Silver Chains

925 sterling silver chains for men and women

Discover our selection of 925 sterling silver chains for women and men, chosen by our jewellery shop in Alginet (Valencia), open since 1972. From fine chains to wear with a pendant to Cuban chains and solid rope chains to wear on their own.

Types of silver chain: which one is yours?

We stock the most popular models: cable, Figaro, Bilbao, Cuban, Solomonic, Venetian and ball chains and solid silver rope chains, in different widths and in 40, 45, 50 and 60 cm lengths. Some models are also gold-plated for a golden finish.

Which length should I choose?

40-45 cm sits close to the neck, 50 cm falls just below the collarbone and 60 cm falls onto the chest, the preferred length for men and for large pendants. To get it right, measure a chain you already wear. If you're going to hang a medal or a cross, check that the chain fits through its bail.

Genuine 925 silver, not plated or costume jewellery

Many chains sold online as "silver" are actually silver-plated or silver-coated steel, a thin layer that wears off with use. Our chains are 925 sterling silver, 92.5% silver, hallmarked in accordance with precious metals regulations.

Buy from a trusted jeweller since 1972

All our silver chains come with a certificate of authenticity, a gift box and a 3-year warranty. Shipping is free and insured, with delivery in 2 to 7 working days, you have 15 days for exchanges or returns if the piece is not engraved, and you can pay in up to 12 interest-free instalments with Sequra.

If you already know what you're looking for, go straight to our men's silver chains, silver Cuban chains or women's silver chains. We also have men's silver bracelets, women's silver bracelets and our full silver jewellery collection.

Frequently asked questions about silver chains

Does silver turn black?

Over time sterling silver darkens through contact with air, sweat or perfume. This is normal and doesn't mean it isn't silver. You can bring back the shine with a dedicated silver cleaner, which we also sell in our shop.

What is the difference between a solid and a hollow chain?

Both are 925 sterling silver. A solid chain is silver all the way through the link and stands up better to knocks and pulls. A hollow chain has an empty link inside: it looks the same and costs less, but needs more care. Each product page states whether it is solid or hollow and its approximate weight.

How do I know it's real sterling silver?

All our chains are 925 sterling silver, meaning 92.5% silver. They are not plated, nor silver-plated steel.

What width do I need to hang a medal?

For small medals and crosses a fine chain is enough; for large pendants a wider chain is better, ideally solid. Tell us which pendant it is and we'll confirm the right chain.

Can silver cause allergies?

Sterling silver contains 7.5% other metals, usually copper. If you have a known allergy to any metal, ask us before buying.

Can I exchange it if the length isn't right?

Yes, you have 15 days from delivery to exchange or return it, unless it has been engraved or personalised. And if you'd rather shorten it, our workshop can do that.
